Agricultural Labor Relations Board - 5 Current Openings in California!

The California Agricultural Labor Relations Act (ALRA) is modeled after the National Labor Relations Act, which extends collective bargaining and labor rights to workers. When the NLRA was passed, it excluded agricultural workers. After years of agricultural workers organizing to improve work conditions and labor strife in California due to the lack of a process for growers and farm workers to resolve their disputes, California enacted the ALRA in 1975, becoming the first state to extend collective bargaining rights to agricultural workers and establishing protections for farmworkers to come together to advocate for better working conditions and to protect themselves. The Act created the Agricultural Relations Board (ALRB) to oversee administration and enforcement of the Act, including adjudicating labor disputes and conducting union elections. The ALRB is the only state agency exclusively dedicated to serving and protecting farmworkers. The Act's purpose is simple: Guarantee farmworkers full freedom of choice and precent and redress unfair labor practices. A groundbreaking law, the essential Act continues to serve California with its unique vision of agricultural labor peace.
